This reverts commit d90e221a17. Reverts #6489 since it introduced problems for people having [*]Auto sync now and in the furture & Action when wifi off: prompt.
Slow browsing and exiting (ex: closing History) could
be noticed when the memory usage is already high (as the
GC has a lot of memory to visit). Delaying it to after
the new screen is shown limits the feeling of slowness.
there is no need to pass the caller rather just the table where the setting is located. passing the setting alone is not enough as sometimes it is nil and then you do not get a reference to its location
* Revamped most actions that require an internet connection to a new/fixed backend that allows forwarding the initial action and running it automatically once connected. (i.e., it'll allow you to set "Action when Wi-Fi is off" to "turn_on", and whatch stuff connect and do what you wanted automatically without having to re-click anywhere instead of showing you a Wi-Fi prompt and then not doing anything without any other feedback).
* Speaking of, fixed the "turn_on" beforeWifi action to, well, actually work. It's no longer marked as experimental.
* Consistently use "Wi-Fi" everywhere.
* On Kobo/Cervantes/Sony, implemented a "Kill Wi-Fi connection when inactive" system that will automatically disconnect from Wi-Fi after sustained *network* inactivity (i.e., you can keep reading, it'll eventually turn off on its own). This should be smart and flexible enough not to murder Wi-Fi while you need it, while still not keeping it uselessly on and murdering your battery.
(i.e., enable that + turn Wi-Fi on when off and enjoy never having to bother about Wi-Fi ever again).
* Made sending `NetworkConnected` / `NetworkDisconnected` events consistent (they were only being sent... sometimes, which made relying on 'em somewhat problematic).
* restoreWifiAsync is now only run when really needed (i.e., we no longer stomp on an existing working connection just for the hell of it).
* We no longer attempt to kill a bogus non-existent Wi-Fi connection when going to suspend, we only do it when it's actually needed.
* Every method of enabling Wi-Fi will now properly tear down Wi-Fi on failure, instead of leaving it in an undefined state.
* Fixed an issue in the fancy crash screen on Kobo/reMarkable that could sometime lead to the log excerpt being missing.
* Worked-around a number of sneaky issues related to low-level Wi-Fi/DHCP/DNS handling on Kobo (see the lengthy comments [below](https://github.com/koreader/koreader/pull/6424#issuecomment-663881059) for details). Fix#6421
Incidentally, this should also fix the inconsistencies experienced re: Wi-Fi behavior in Nickel when toggling between KOReader and Nickel (use NM/KFMon, and run a current FW for best results).
* For developers, this involves various cleanups around NetworkMgr and NetworkListener. Documentation is in-line, above the concerned functions.
use `device` `filemanager` `rolling` and `paging` sections to organize the
dispatcher menu and allow the user to know when the action will apply
add events from ReaderGesture
allow profiles in FM
add a Dispatcher module that allows for dispatching multiple events at once.
This will allow for profiles & for gestures that do multiple things.
it has 2 methods:
Execute which is given a kv table of settings to change and fires an event for each of them.
addSubMenu adds a menu item to a menu to allow for modifying which events are called
it also has settingsList which is a master table of all allowed setting and their corresponding info
(it is mostly from ReaderGesture and needs a lot of work)
to allow for a new setting all one has to do is add a entry to settingsList with a corresponding event and it will work out of the box.
the profile plugin is right now still a stub, just to test Dispatcher. the plan is to finish it and eventually refactor ReaderGesture to rely on this.
This also needs effort to move many functions out of reader gesture into events where they belong.
joins calibre metadata search and calibre wireless connections into a single plugin
search metadata changes:
- search directly into calibre metadata files.
- search can be performed on more than one library (configurable from a menu)
- device scans now find all calibre libraries under a given root
- search options can be configured from a menu. (case sensitive, find by title, author and path)
- removed legacy global variables.
- *option* to search from the reader
- *option* to generate a cache of books for faster searches.
calibre wireless connection changes:
- keep track of books in a library (includes prunning books from calibre metadata if the file was deleted locally)
- remove files on device from calibre
- support password protected connections
- FM integration: if we're in the inbox dir it will be updated each time a book is added or deleted.
- disconnect when requested by calibre, available on newer calibre versions (+4.17)
- remove unused opcodes.
- better report of client name, version and device id
- free disk space checks for all calibre versions
- bump supported extensions to match what KOReader can handle. Users can override this with their own list of extensions (or from calibre, by configuring the wireless device).
- Fix wrong values for books opened (or first opened)
from April 14th to May 20th: highlights and notes
possibly being NULL was preventing nb of pages and
last_open from being fetched.
- Re-order current book and all books stat items to some
hopefully more sensible order.
- Some rewording for clarity.
KeyValuePage:
- Have value_overflow_align="right" only align right
when value overflows 1/2 screen width, but not
when only key overflows that.
- Show truncated text also on Tap when there is no
callback.
This number might have been leaking from a previously opened
book, and can be innacurate.
Reset it from the number of highlights stored in settings.
Note that the number of "Notes" shown does not mean much.
- Use same names for options;
- Have them both movable
- Add option to keep widget shown on Apply (and use that
when appropriate: when the value may have an immediate
visual effect, so one can tweak it without having to
go thru menus to re-open it again).
Simplify (and avoid edge cases) in other code by having
ReadHistory manage the "lastfile" setting on add, remove,
rename...
Fixed a few other cases of things not updated.
